Me and my brother were taught to clean everything with Dawn dish soap and a slightly used green scrubbie (to avoid scratches) and i usually rinse with hot hot water because hotter parts will dry faster, but you definitely need to use air and or heat to thoroughly dry then like you said WD-40 to protect from rust... Not trying to be a know it all just want to help the next generation learn some of the old tricks to success...

The number 2 cam bearing hole looked like it was straight down? I'm rebuilding a 1975 350 and the cam bearings 2,3 and 4 oil hole lined up with the hole going to the crankshaft? But several videos on here say to put them at the 8 o'clock position when the block is upside down. Confusing. Why would you block off a oil hole going to the crankshaft? Thanks
@Myvintageiron75122 жыл бұрын
The small block chevy has a groove all the way around the center of the cam bearing bore so you're not blocking off the hole the oil will follow the groove and lube the cam

I'm sorry but taking the car wash's foam brush to your greasy engine with metal particles was just hillbilly ignorant and hillbilly rude. The next guy is going to come along and drag that sumbitch all over their paint and windows. Many car washes have signs up prohibiting exactly what you did but even if they didn't it was still ignorant.

You are clearly not paying attention and clearly you do not build engines first of all this is not as you put it greasy engine full of metal it was machined vatted honed and jet spray washed, as I state in the video this is the finial wash just before assembly you also clearly did not pay attention to the first video when I explain the point of this series if you can't see from the video of the block and heads what stage of the rebuild these parts are i'm sorry man but you're really out in the weeds, every machine shop finial washes blocks and cranks with soap and water before final assembly but as I said you clearly have no experience doing this type of work so you wouldn't know that
